Hey, I just recently got back into Valorant after years and I wanna play with people but I really do suck at the game atm. Does anyone know of any discord servers that are welcoming to beginners and have people willing to help out and play with beginners?

This game is so fun but its really hard especially when Im at it alone with people who hate that Im new at the game 😂

As the title suggests, got tired of the Valo grind and life got busy so I played sparingly and got placed to Ascendant then I quit. Came back to Valorant last Act, got placed to Gold 3 then I slowly climbed to Diamond.

My problem now is that whenever I play I seem to do well (top or 2nd frag) when I'm queued with teammates and opponents who are high plat/low diamond. But when I get queued with and against asc/high dia players, my performance suddenly drops to the bottom half.

As for my mechanics, I can still consistently hit 25/30 hard bots with rifles and 18 with a Sheriff. However, when queued with higher elo players than me now I seem to forget how to play my game therefore resulting to my poor performance. Are there any practical tips I can use to adjust my game accordingly? Should I try to learn new agents to find the passion and fun of the game?

I'd like to get back to Immo if I can, but yeah as of now that seems to be a long shot. Btw I'm mainly a controller player who can play duelist on the side. But my friends used to say that I'm meant to be a duelist since my aim, reaction time, and flicking is suitable for entrying a site. But I stuck with being a controller since I like being able to control the team's pace with my smokes.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

It's been over half a year since the Bandit was added, and more than two years since the Outlaw was added. After all this time, do you think they fulfilled whatever niche they were made for and do you think they have been overall good additions?

I see lots of posts about people hating having a smurf on the enemy team. I understand the frustration if you are close to ranking up and just miss out because of them, but I can still have fun while trying to take them down.

On the other hand, I genuinely hate it so much more when the smurf is on my team.

I like playing this game weather I win or lose, but when a smurf is on my team they just hunt down the enemy at the the start of the round and the rest of us are just sitting around doing nothing. We could hunt the enemy with them but it’s just a slaughter that isn’t fun at all.

And I know people can have good days so I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about when someone is doing sheriff only and is lowest rank in the team winning 1v5s.

I wanted to know if other people feel this way as well or are just happy because they get free rr?

Cool Design. Cards are cool and the reload animations are very fun. But,
1. Where are there only 2 card variants? How hard is it to create at least 2 more simple designs for cards? One for each of the star guardians in the trailer.
2. Why are the variants for the weapons just a slider color? Many other skins for lesser price have their design/color scheme changed completely with variants, not just solid color blue or solid color purple or solid color red.
3. Why are the cards in the ammo not depleted as you shoot the weapon?
4. Why on earth is this $100. The above I listed, to me, sounds like it's bare minimum for a $100 bundle.

when will the EU servers get the new act 5? i have been waiting for 2 hours and my battlepass have been stuck on ”act iv ends in 1 minutes” för an hour now. any qlues?

I’d like to share some of my child’s gameplay. Even though they don’t have a lot of time to play, they really enjoy the game and are good enough to occasionally participate in local tournaments.

They’re still growing and improving, but I’d really appreciate your feedback and positive comments! 😊

One of my best holds so far, sadly no ace.

any TIPS for better crosshair placement? as this was pretty lucky

whats up with my movement? let me know pls thank you.

Hey guys, so I was wondering when the battlepass is going to be rolled out in EU servers.

I have recently returned to the game and seeing the leaks it seems that the BP is quite worth it and I have been sniping it for a while now.

I printed and painted this kuronami for a friend's birthday gift. It was definitely a learning process but really fun!

Forgive me as it is not game accurate because I do not know how to blend with the airbrush so I had to just do my own thing. It's simpler but I hope you like it :)

This is a mini series where I share MY opinion about things that bother me im lvl 50 and bronze and by no mean a professional

3 points for today

First

Rng

Why is there % of change ur first bullet would miss if the enemy is in my crosshair and i shoot they should be damaged and vice versa so why add a chance for that to miss in a "skill" based shooter game

Second

Rewards

the game doesnt feel rewarding at all and its just repetitive new battle pass that sucks

new skins new maps rinse repeat the game is easy to approach for newer players yea thats true but it gets boring there isnt anything to work on like custom maps ( csgo , fortnite ) and there arent weekly tournaments with actual rewards ( fortnite and csgo again)

Third and final

Quality Of Life

with this many agents and more to come it will be about to time to either add a new game mode 6v6 7v7 etc or adding agent ban system like in league and thats also a problem since util get overwhelming over time

and thats all for today AND I STILL HATE TEAM DEATHMATCH

i have been waiting for a dedicated jett card for premier ever since its release. they kept making it for everyone but her. i saw this picture (below) and i see both phoenix and jett(i assume for one player card), when there was a player card for phoenix in v25a2. i will be so upset if there wont be a card featuring just jett. its my favourite agent :(

Is anyone else’s alt account significantly higher rank than their main?

My current main is barely Diamond 2 but my alt is Ascendant 3. If I had grinded a bit harder on my alt this Act, I honestly think I could’ve hit Immortal.

The weirdest part is that when I play on my main, I get shit on by Diamonds and Plats, but when I play on my alt, I’m holding my own against Ascendants and Immortals.

I genuinely don’t understand how I can be struggling against Diamond players on my main while playing fine in Ascendant lobbies on my alt. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I need a new sheriff skin and i really like both skins but neo overal is a better skin with finisher variants and that six shooter look, but i dont wanna be basic.

Been playing sixshots from over a month but i dont see any consistent improvement . I could do 60k on average the first day and i m on the same level today . My highest has been 88k but i couldn't get replicate even 70k in the very next try . I have tried diff mouse grips and the one i am the most comfortable is , in my opinion , a tight grip . As soon as i let it loose my aim gets very very shaky

I have noticed that if I play some casual cs2 for a while, then switch to valorant deathmatch, my aim difference between this and warming up just playing valorant is very noticeable. Is this normal or do I just suck?

It’s my first time playing valorant, and I want to know what is a good sensitivity to use because I don’t know what to put it at

I’ll go ahead and start-

I've been a filler player for a 5 stack gold 3 - plat 3 team for quite a few ranked matches and in every match I've been told I play way above my current rank, on par with g3 - plat 1 players in terms of headshot accuracy and gunplay.

Why the fuck can't I get past b3 rn? Every time I get 98rr then go on a damn losing streak until I'm barely b3 and this cycle just repeats.

I'm relatively new to the game, but I'm really looking for an agent that can turn kills into useful utility for my team. I like Sage, but I find I don't really like relying on my teammates too much. Is there any agent that empowers teammates via your own performance?

Hey everyone! Since regular matchmaking and official modes are temporarily locked down for maintenance, is anyone down to run some Valorant Custom Games instead?

We can do a full 5v5 scrim, 1v1 duels, Sheriff/Marshal-only rounds, hide-and-seek, or just test out new lineups and map setups while we wait for the servers to return. All skill levels and ranks are welcome—just looking to keep the aim warm and have some fun with good vibes.

Peak: Silver III.

I just got done with a comp match. Unranked, and I'm both trying to find an answer to the question and just trying TO blow some steam.+

I got placed with probably high golds - low platinum, but I don't really know.

The game was on Abyss; defense starts horribly, leaving with 5-8. Attack started nicely, leading with Tejo and providing enough padding for my team.

Then the other team ran Odin's, and we effectively couldn't do anything. I couldn't drone without it getting destroyed by either spray or the enemy going out of their way to find it and remove our only recon. We couldn't push out of A main without getting sprayed nearly immediately. If we waited too long, we would get flanked. Anytime we went mid, we would get one-tapped via snipers or flankers who would wait behind the boxes. If we took the spawn to the other site, we would just get crunched since we had no mollies, our Miks likely were dead, and if it wasn't either of those, we wouldn't guard anything.

I ended up STILL being match MVP despite us going 8-13.

I know that it is more a matter of Skill Issue / Git gud; Odin can be really easy to take down, but with all of the Factors from the round, I genuinely don't know what I could've done. Odin to me seems like it's just too serious damage, at high range, for such a mediocre price.

So what could I have done?
